A useful point here from comments ... not only is "womxn" jargony and weird, but it's very far from clear that the intended trans-inclusive message comes through — as far as I can see, most trans women refer to themselves as "women." https://t.co/IEhmjIq7mo https://t.co/UB3cJMLTBy — PolitiTweet.org

The origin as I understand it is there was a move in Second Wave feminism to say "womyn" instead of "women" to decenter men. But that jargon came to be associated with TERF tendencies. So "womxn" was coined as a trans-inclusive alternative to "womyn." — PolitiTweet.org
